Yes, Minister!

This is a real blast from the past, but I don't remember ever seeing it at the time - at least if I did, I was much too young to appreciate political satire.

Watched the first two episodes of Yes Minister last night - I have to say that it's aged amazingly well. Paul Eddington's earnest Minister, Nigel Hawthorne's slimy Chief Civil Servant and the rest are as funny as ever - perhaps even funnier. I shall enjoy watching the remaining episodes and then Yes Prime Minister - much funnier than most modern shows I've seen lately!
